Add me please!

That looks like a right mess of partitions. I'd be very tempted to back up anything I needed and reinstall Windows properly.

Is this Stoke Wood near Bicester? I've been there a few times but not come away with anything I liked yet. Cracking images and it's a lovely place, I'll probably go back there this weekend.

Good feedback, thanks. I changed the crop to give it move room on the left and also removed the blur I'd added - it was bothering me and just looked too soft.

Oh God... I'm in the HDR hole!

First time I've tried to shoot the Moon. I had to rush a bit to catch it in the cloud breaks and messed up the focus a bit.

For me it is YouTube videos and practice. I don't go looking for tutorial videos unless I want to learn something specific, I've found I've learnt a lot more by watching videos by people like Sean Tucker, Tom Heaton and Mark Denney. They take the time to explain their processes and there is a...

I love Novatech, awesome people. I also love that there is absolutely no bloat installed on their PCs either.

I got a 2nd hand 10-22mm lens today and wanted to try it out. I'm very pleased with this one and I think it's my best landscape photo in the 3 months since I started. Really excited to get back out there for more!

Hi everyone. Two of my photos of the sunset today - both are HDR merges from 3 exposures. I've tried to be subtle with the editing, my main aim was to make sure I was able to bring out the colours of the clouds. I had to go with ISO 6400 to keep the shutter speed high enough to cope with the...

Cheers, I'll check out the video. I think what I did wrong was for the bottom bracket shot, I exposed for the dark foreground and then drove it down 2 more stops. It was so dark it was driving the entire merge down. I'm away from home for the week and I don't have my shots with me or I'd show...
